What is Australia's "bridge visa"

Brief introduction of Australia's bridge visa is a transitional visa, not a substantive visa, mainly to ensure the legal residence right of non-Australian permanent residents when they live in Australia. Those who are waiting for a substantive visa decision, those who appeal because their visa applications are rejected, and those who appeal because their visas are cancelled can apply for a bridge visa. Usually, the bridge visa takes effect when it is issued and lasts until the visa ends. However, if the bridge visa holder also holds other substantive visas, the bridge visa will not take effect until the substantive visa is completed. If you need to apply for a bridge visa, wait for the results of the substantive visa review; An application for canceling "automatic cancellation of student visa" has been submitted; "The application for substantive visa was rejected", "the visa was cancelled" or "the visa was cancelled and the Immigration Department refused to revoke this ruling", and the applicant sought an appeal; Has applied for substantive visa appeal review; Waiting for the result of requesting ministerial intervention; Being under criminal detention; Waiting for departure arrangements; The conditions for applying for a bridge visa in Australia vary according to the purpose of the application. 1. Apply for substantive visa: Generally speaking, if an applicant submits a valid substantive visa application, it will submit a bridge visa application by default. If the entity visa application form is also authorized as a bridge visa application form, there is no need to submit a bridge visa application separately. Bridge visa is mainly used to ensure that non-citizens can legally live in Australia during the substantive visa application stage. However, if the Immigration Department finds that the substantive visa application is invalid, it will inform you by letter, and the bridge visa will be suspended from 28 days after receiving the notice. For example, class A bridge visa, class C bridge visa; 2. Examination of the reasons for appeal: If a non-citizen holds a bridge visa in the process of visa application, he/she will seek an appeal within the time limit stipulated by the Immigration Department when the substantive visa application is rejected, and the bridge visa will remain valid during the appeal period (such as class A bridge visa and class C bridge visa) without re-application.
